What we have learnt - Day 5

These were the things we learnt on the last day:

1) The King of Malaysia had many residences, and one of them became a museum.

2) The boats were displayed in a building which was specially built for this purpose. It became a tourist attraction.

3) The top-spinning competition became an international and famous competition. In the past, it was not well known and did not have many competitors. (A wild guess: Competitions were held amongst villages)

What we have learnt - Day 4

These were the few things that we learnt today:

1) The village had a mix of old and new houses -- some were still made of wood! This showed us housing developments in remote villages like these.

2) The advancements of the wedding of the Malay culture.

What we have learnt - Day 3

These are a few things we learnt today:

1) The turtle sanctuary used donations to build and buy things that they needed to maintain the sanctuary (e.g. DVD player and TV)

2) At the natural batik village, we saw the old batik weaving machine. However, in the past, they manually wove the batikk. This machine helped them be more productive and make more money because of that.

3) At the agricultural centre, the tram was a sign of change. In the past, they did not have such machinery to take visitors around and the visitors might have to walk instead. This has helped tourists to not only move around, but get a good view of the whole centre.

What we have learnt - Day 2

These where the few things we learnt today:

1) Deerland was originally opened to those who had special privileges. The owner then decided to open it up to the public and it became a tourist attraction.

2) At the flying fox, they had to chop down a big tree to get wood that laid across the river to act as a bridge. Alternatively, they used the string for going across the river, and at thee same time, built the flying fox to add on as an adventure-style attraction.

3) At the Elephant Sanctuary, there were trucks and heavy vehicles. In the past, they had to pull the elephant to the enclosure, which was difficult and was time-consuming.

What we have learnt -- Day 1

We have a few things that proved that change lead to progress:

1) The building of the new highway connecting the check point to the North-South highway helped tourists to reach their destination faster and made the journey less confusing.

2) The tea plantation had a weighing scale, which helped the farmers weigh their harvest, instead of doing it manually.

3) During the road to the waterfall, there was a construction site. This is a sign of a change taking place.

In the next MM, what would like to see?
